Quote

Lucy nurses Craig's gunshot wound as he fights for his life, Xander has a revelation while on the memory drug that may cause him to abandon his loyalty to Darros, and Kira gets closer to uncovering Darros’ master plan.

Premiered today on Australian streaming service STAN.

Fix has really been a standout. You know Hawes and Ritter are going to bring it, and Ritter was really the reason I wanted to check the show out in the first place. I hope she's getting more work. 

I'm surprised Craig wasn't dead. They're certainly dragging it out. I guess it's good he gets his good bye monologue. 

And Delphine returns for exposition. I think this is the first time they actually said 'clones' on this show. It seemed to me like Jules knew about the clones. Maybe they made the news? 

I wonder if all the younger printouts have these buried memories. As an artifact of the process. I think it's good there's at least another non-Eleanor printout. I liked the mothership as well as anyone, but they did go overboard on all the clones. It looks like there may be some more printouts, but I only counted six.

Darros buying *all* the medical records explains the Jules printout. I'd say that's a little much even for this show, but this past week we had a huge cyberhack of basically all our personal data, so maybe not so much.

I'm still hoping Reed Diamond changes his tune and joins Kira. I don't know why it's 'more than a job', but I can buy that his probably feels responsible for his friend being killed. 

I'm unspoiled, but saying "Lucy isn't human" and having him actually be a printout too would be perfect and very classic sci fi. Oh, now I hope this really happens. That's the only way he'd team up with Kira. And we've seen Darros accessed more scans.

Why did they have a young actress play Kiera’s aunt?  I must have missed it.

Delphine? That was the original actor from the OG. They aged her up a little.

This show seems to follow the canon of the podcast show Orphan Black: The Next Chapter. I don't want to spoil the show if anyone wants to listen. Suffice to say, people being aware of the Project Leda clones is consistent with the events of that program.

That's fair enough. It's not surprising that it didn't make the news.
